Subject: [PATCH 4/5] vfs: allow fsinfo to fetch the current state of s_wb_err

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@...hat.com>

Add a new "error_state" struct to fsinfo, and teach the kernel to fill
that out from sb->s_wb_info. There are two fields:

wb_error_last: the most recently recorded errno for the filesystem

wb_error_cookie: this value will change vs. the previously fetched
                 value if a new error was recorded since it was last
		 checked
